It's in our dedication to sustaining healthy oceans and resilient coastlines
THE EDGE IS HERE
Tiny in size yet vast in global impact, the microscopic phytoplankton Dr. Diana Varela studies are crucial to the carbon
cycle and the foundation of marine food chains in the open ocean, coastal environments and in the Arctic. Her research
creates new understanding of the impact of climate change on the health of marine ecosystems and food production.
